The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) proposes connectivity and cooperation between Eurasian countries through the Silk Road Economic Belt and Maritime Silk Road. Bangladesh officially joined BRI in 2016 and stands to benefit from increased trade, reduced trade gaps with China, duty-free access for products, and potentially developing a deep sea port. However, challenges include ensuring financial stability, addressing corruption, and navigating geopolitical tensions with countries like India that have opposed BRI.

Part 2-How China’s Belt and Road Initiative is Transforming Global Infrastruc...Pamir Law Group
Lessons Learned/Case Studies: How China’s Belt and Road Initiative (“BRI”) is Transforming Global Infrastructure and Connectivity to Empower Indigenous/International Entrepreneurs to Create Jobs, Transfer Technology and Generate Wealth and Change the Future of Economic Development. Through a series of fast moving slides and photographs the audience could see how the BRI was redrawing the geopolitical supply chain and connectivity across many regions and that the changes were not just concrete and steel but also transformative through the internet and financial supports. The narrative was far broader than the narrow western media focus on debt trap. It was noted that financing of infrastructure always had a cost of money and with the revenues generated economic development was possible. The presentation provided examples of how state infrastructure investment brought private entrepreneurs and corporate investment which generated jobs, job training, middle class, managerial class development and new export industries and revenues along with largely local hiring by Chinese companies. With the anticipated loss of over 300 million manufacturing jobs in China in the next few years, nations that prepared stood to benefit from the transfers to change their national trajectories and the velocities on those raised trajectories.

The BCIM (Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar) corridor is perceived to have a potential to generate substantive economic benefits in the area of trade, investment, energy, transport and tourism. The corridor offers a wide range of opportunities for growth and development in the region. The BCIM forum is a long term mechanism aiming to enhance the economic cooperation in business communities and enterprises of the four BCIM regions.
It is therefore vital to build a platform to realize business exchanges and help enterprises to make closer communication exchanges. The May 2014 edition of the Multilateral Newsletter explores the opportunities and the prospective areas which can act as a catalyst leading to positive growth in terms of trade and investment in the BCIM region. In addition, the newsletter gives an update of the major highlights from the Asian Development Bank, The World Bank, International Trade Center, World Trade Organization and groupings like B20 and OECD.
ASEAN and China have a strong business relationship. China is ASEAN’s biggest trading partner, while ASEAN is China’s third-largest trading partner. Major exports include machinery, electronics, and chemical products from China and agricultural products, mineral products, and machinery from ASEAN. The countries are also collaborating in the infrastructure, digital economy, energy, and tourism sectors.
In this report, you will find:
- An overview of China-ASEAN trade relations
- The shift of the supply chain from China to ASEAN
- Where in Southeast Asia are Chinese investing
- Case studies of Chinese companies in Southeast Asia
- Potential business developments
India Bangladesh trade has potential to touch USD 10 billion by the year 2018. In order to reach this target, the two countries should aim at opening new land customs stations, harmonization and recognition of standards, pruning of negative lists, and banking and finance cooperation.
“Bangladesh aims to become a middle-income country by 2021 and India should emerge as a strong partner in realizing this goal,”
Infrastructure and connectivity is the key to the bilateral investment. CII suggests that the North Eastern states of India should be actively involved in planning and preparing transport linkages. Read the detailed report.
Bangladesh, with population over 160 million in a total area of only 150,000 km2, is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Its capital, Dhaka, with a population of 17 million in the Greater Dhaka area is one of the world’s most densely populated cities. Bangladesh’s national GDP has been following a steady growth path of more than 6% per year over the last decade, and road traffic in Dhaka soared by more than 130% over the same period. Roads carry over 80% of national passenger traffic, providing the backbone of the transport sector.
The Rampura–Amulia–Demra Expressway (“RAD” or the “Project”) is a key project of Bangladesh’s Public–Private Partnership Authority (PPPA) and Roads and Highways Department (RHD). The project will serve as a gateway connecting central Dhaka to existing national highways to Chittagong, Sylhet, and the eastern regions of Bangladesh.
PPPA and RHD will shortly invite interested private sector parties to pre-qualify for the opportunity to Design Build, Finance, Operate, and Maintain the RAD project. A compelling opportunity exists for leading consortia to:
• Provide a much-awaited congestion relief road to traffic entering Dhaka, by developing a 13.5km expressway connecting National Highways N1 and N2 to the city center.
• Capitalize on Bangladesh’ economic and urban growth by providing critical connectivity infrastructure for the country
• Manage and operate the road over a 25-year concession
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been appointed as the Transaction Advisor to structure and tender the RAD as a PPP project. The expression of interest process for the project will commence shortly. The attached market awareness brochure provides preliminary information on the Project and the upcoming tender.
We look forward to feedback and participation from potential bidders. Contact information for the transaction advisors is provided in the brochure. Thank you in advance for your interest.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

8. What BRI means for Bangladesh?
Bangladesh officially became part of
BRI in October 2016 after a visit by
Chinese president Xi Jinping when
the two countries signed several
deals worth $21.5 billion
Bangladesh is part of the proposed
Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar
corridor (BCIM), one of the six corridors
of BRI. China has already shown
interest in developing a deep sea-port
in Bangladesh under the 21st century
maritime Silk Road initiative.
9. Geographically,
Bangladesh can be a
connecting corridor
between semi-
industrialized ASEAN
countries and the
highly populated Indian
sub-continent. It is
strategically located
between South Asia
and South-East Asia
which makes it a very
important player in
trans-regional
integration.
